Karlach is a recruitable Berserker character in Baldur’s Gate 3. In order to make her join your team you must locate her and talk to her. She will then follow you around and aid you in combat.
This guide explains the steps to recruit Karlach.
Step 1: Find Karlach Location
First, you will have to find Karlach. She is found directly south of “The Risen Road” fast travel point. There is a fallen tree trunk at the end of the path, walk over it to meet Karlach (red devil warrior) on the other side.
To reach The Risen Road you must venture north from Blighted Village (automatically reached in story). There you will reach a broken stone bridge and a cutscene will start where a devil talks to you. After talking to him, use the “Jump” action to jump across the broken bridge. Then head east and fight your way past the hyenas. At the end of the path you’ll see the fallen log and Karlach on the other end.

Step 2: Talk to Karlach and pick the correct Dialogue
Upon arriving, Karlach will automatically start talking to you. Be nice to her. The following dialogues are confirmed to recruit her: 1. Are you all right? > 2. I don’t remember you from the ship. Where were you? > 1. It’s the tadpole in our heads. It connects us. > 1. I’m (your name) > 1. Let’s send them back where they came from. > 1. Sounds like a great plan.
Karlach will join your party at this point. If your party is already full with 4 players, she will move to your camp instead. In this case, click the camp-icon in the bottom right of the screen and choose “Go to camp”. You will need to tell another team member to stay at camp to open up a free slot in your party. Then talk to Karlach at camp and tell her to come with you.
Be sure to return to head up the road north of where you found her and defeat the enemies in the house while she’s in your party. This will complete her favor and she will be thankful for it.
